Cleveland and Clinton

UTICA, N. Y, July S.-Oficers of the
three Grand Army of the Republic
posts in Utica say they are misrepre-
sented by the report that their posts
have decided not to go to the Clinton
Centennial if President Cleveland at
tends. Two posts have not acted on
the invitation, and the third has de-
cided not to attend for want of mem
bers who could conveniently go.
Word has been received here tonight
from the President that in Difference to
the wishes of large number of Giti-
zens OF Utica, he and Mrs. Cleveland
will stop in this city Wednesday even
ing, July ID, after his return from the
Clinton Centennial celebration, and
will give reception to the citizens. He
will leave Washington for New York on
Monday. After his stay in Utica, he
will go with Mrs. Cleveland to Forest
Port, to visit his brother, Rev. W. NJ.
Cleveland. Tuesday, he will be at Hol-
land Patent with his sister, Rose Eliza-
beth Cleveland. He will spend some
few days in Forest Port.

The OIL Boom In Colorado.

DENVER, July S.-Considerable excite
ment is being created in commercial
circles of the Rocky Mountain region
over the oil production of this State.
Hon. James H. Platte, president of the
Platte Washburne Refining Company,
New York, and manager of the oil
works at Florence, Colo, to-day said
1.-The oil situation in Colorado is this /:
There are now twenty wells being
worked, producing 700 barrels per day.
This is sufficient to supply the demand
in this section of the west. at
figure lower than can be met
by eastern companies. This will shut
out of the Colorado market all eastern
oil, including that of the Standard Com
pany, and the question now with Colo
RADIO producers is how to handle their
product to the best advantage. In
speaking of the quality of Colorado oil,
he SAID: Colorado oil is the sweetest
and best ever discovered in the world,
though the Pennsylvania oil is sweeter
than the foreign"

In the Commons

LONDON, July 1S.-Lord Harrington,
in the Commons this afternoon, con-
tinuing the debate on the Irish crimes
bill, said he recognized every portion of
the majority supporting the measure
must bear its full onus of responsibility
for what had been done. So long as the
Liberal unionists were supported by the
thinking and cultured classes of Eng
land, they would continue with conf
dence in their course. For" added
he, "surely the masses cannot have a
better knowledge than the educated
class of the relations between England
and Ireland"

Powderly and Grain Gamb1srs.

PHILADELPHIA, July S.-GeneraI Mas
ter Workman Powderly, in the Journal
| of United Labor, pays his respects to the
grain and stock brokers in vigorous
manner. Referring to the recent cor
ners in coffee and wheat, Mr.. PoWderl7
says: The lesson taught our members
by the experience of the past six weeks
IS to keep their eyes open and to keep
them towards the produce exchanges of
New York, Chicago and other large
cities, and the moment the grain or
produce gambler stacks the cards and
announces that there is a scarcity in
certain articles of food, and that prices
go up in consequence, every member
should resolve and resolve out loud,
that until the unhallowed hand of the
Spectator has been removed from con-
troll of the article in question, not a
pound nor an ounce more than can be
avoided will he purchased. This may
be regarded in the light of boycott"
notice; this is exactly what [ intended
1t for, and had | the power vested in
me 10 make the order imperative, I
would order every member, so far as
IN him lies the power, to place an
eternal boycott" on every grain and
stock gambler in the United States and
Canada.

Another Good Man Gone Wrong.

WASHINGTON, July 8.-Something OF
sensation was created in the Treasury
Department this afternoon, by the dis
covery that trusted official in the de
partment had been guilty of a system
attic attempt to defraud the government.
The officer was arrested at Wilkesbarre,
yesterday afternoon, as he was about
to take the train for Washington, and
his dismissal from the service was or :
| dered by Secretary Fairchild this after
noon. His name is Oscar ]. Harvey,
and he has been employed at the de-
partment since June. 1885, when he was
appointed Chief of Horse Claims. diVi-
sion of Third Auditors Office. 1t was
while he held this position that he per-
p5trated the frauds with which he is
now charged. On the I'd of June
last, he was tranferred to the head of
the division in the Second Comptroller's
Office, the division which has charge of
claims of the same nature as those in
the division which he just left. Austin
II. Brown, of Indianapolis, succeeded
Harvey as chief of the horse claims, and
soon after he took charge of the office,
he discovered the frauds of which his
predecessor had been guilty. This con-
SAoCOO VI thO poGooSC-Ol LAIItcOLI 1IduQu-
lent claims for horses aggregating
S92 600, and the preparation OF many
additional cases of similar nature, all
of which were under consideration in
the office. In most cases the claims are
for horses during the late war, and are
presented in the names of officers of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey regi-
ments. All cases appeared to have been
prosecuted by W. w. VIM, first OF
Philadelphia and then of Wash
ington, and the services of J. G. Man
ford, notary public. Philadelphia,
were called into requisition in connec-
ton with the necessary afhdavits. The
work involved the stealing of numerous
discriminating papers from the files of
the department. In thirteen claims it
was found that the signatures, involv-
ing the names of thirty-eight officers,
were forgeries. Subsequently it was
found the second auditors name had
been forged in a certificate received
from that Office, and also that none of
the Pennsylvania and New Jersey cases
in which VIM was attorney were
on the records of that Office. The
claims which had been allowed were then
overhauled, and in almost every in
stance it was found that the second
auditors certificates as to signatures
had been distracted together with
other papers.

An Astounding Sensation.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 8.-The Chronicle
devotes two pages to the letters and
afidaVits found among the effects of
the late Abner Blake, formerly deputy
United States collector at Port Towns
end. Washington Territory, who died
under mysterious circumstances at
Chicago last May, while on his way to
Washington. The article shows that
Blake, who had been removed from the
customs service, held to the opinion
that II. +. Beecher, son of the late
Henry Ward Beecher, who was COL
lector at Port Townsend, and who is
now treasury agent there, had de-
frauded the government, and in one
instance, had withheld from an in
former the money due him, growing
out of a large opium seizure.
The seizure in question consisted of
fourteen barrels of opium, which were
found hidden in an Alaska bay, having
been placed there by the captain of the
steamer Idaho. The seized opium was
sold by government for S32, 900, of which
the informer, G. NJ. Rouse, was to have
received about $4,000. In the papers
of Blake it is shown that Rouse re-
ceived no money, but that Chinaman
named An Oooy, OF Nlctorla, was SUD
stituted as a dummy" informer, and
given $133, although he signed as hav-
ing received $1,000. These and
other serious charges were made
by Blake to the officials at
Washington, but no attention being
paid to them, Blake started east with
the documents in person, and was in
duced to stop at Chicago, where he
died. The affidaYits include those OF
every person connected with the opium
seizure, including that of All Cooy, to-
gether with transcripts from the seizure
book at Port Townsend. Other aft
davits among Blake papers made by
people at Port Townsend and elsewhere
charge Beecher with collecting from
the government money for the ex-
penses and for the construction OF
boats for the use of the customs service
in each instance larger than actually
paid out by Beecher. In letter
written by Rouse from Chicago, he ex-
presses the belief that Blake there met
"Bnl' Minty, formerly employed on
the steamer Evangel, of which Beecher
was captain. and by him induced to re-
main at Chicago, and that while there
Blake met foul play to prevent his pro-
posed exposure resulting in his death.

Fleeing Poor Emfgrants.

NEW YORK. July Sat a meeting of
the emigration commission, to-day,
Commissioner Stephenson produced
German paper published in Ohio, and
called attention to an advertisement in
it of the American Emigrant Com
pany, 80 State Street. New York. P.O.
Box ,040. r. E. Geanson, agent" The
advertisement solicited deposits of saw
iDgs, AID offered to transact all kinds
of financial business. The commissioner
said his attention bad been called to the
case of an emigrant who had deposited
$4,000 with the company, and who,
when he asked for his money, re- eIved
only part in cash and the rest in Mis-
souri, bonds. The commissioner called
at the office of the company, and when
he asked for the president a man
named Warner presented himself. He
afterwards said he was not the presi
dent, but only manager. This man
said that up to December last the insLi-
tuition was known as the Amer
can Emigrant Company, of Hart
ford, Conn.," At that time Bar
holomew, who had charge of
its business, skipped out with the
assets and the concern was bought by
j. G. Sayery and James Callahan.
Slavery subsequently told him the COM
missioner said that the company had
charter. but diligent search failed to
show any record of it. SaYery admitted
their present liabilities were $3.50 900,
and that the only security the depositors
had for their money was the personal
security of j. G. Savery. This sort of
thing. the Commissioner said, had |
been going on for years, and he has
asked that the board rescind permits
sion to enter Castle Garden on the plea
of helping emigrants from all persons
except agents of railroads and steamers.
Commissioner Stephenson also spoke of
another similar institution, managed by
o. r. Sjostrom, at q State Street, in
which depositors had no security.

New York, July Sat the Brooklyn
City Hall to-day, the Grand Army OF

scene of an extended discussion of Pres
ident Cleveland's letter recalling his &C :

Some comrades said it was too bad that
ANYTHING had been said to Cleveland.
Others thought the Presidents letter
was not couched in friendly terms, and
would not tend to mend matters. A
few thought the department comman-
der ought to rebuke the comrades who
had sighted the President.

A Battle in ThimbIe-Bumy Blaine.


ED1NBURG, July 8.-There is a great
deal of indignation manifested over the
failure of Elaine to obtain admission to,
the Council Chamber during the pres
entation of the freedom of the city to
Carnegie, now that it is known the oc-
currence appears to have been brought
about by an official lack of tact. Blaine
and Senator Hale arrived half an hour
late. All the approaches to the Coun-
Gil Chamber were crowded, and the
visitors had hard time in reaching
the Chamber door. When they got there,
they found they were without tickets.
The ianitor did not know them, and
would not pass them ID. Carnegie was.
at the time delivering his address.
Blaine sent a message to the provost,
who waited until Carnegie finished his
address before sending orders for the
admission of the distinguished Ameri-
cans. By this time both Blaine and
Hale became disguised, and retired to
The hotel. Carnegie, when he heard
what had happened, became very
angry, and would scarcely listen to the
provost's apologies.
